And with a new USCIS leader, it might get his attention, when he/she is trying to learn about what all needs to be taken care of.

Hello Experts,

I am on H1 and have my labor approved. My spouse is on F1 and we are filing I-140. Would there be a problem?

Because of Retrogression for India we cannot file for I-485 yet.

Please advise

Thanks

Dont about worry about your wife now..I140 is yours and you can file it...when you file I485..you attorney will guide you..

hey, how do i add to the wallpaper section? I just got redirected to the forum... :-\


Oh, and btw, got a new pic here: www.avalon-rev.dk/soldat.jpg


Not as advanced as the previous, but still nice.. :)

i make rain now... HA!

What year?..........2011 for EB2I and 2021 for EB3I. :(

For EB3 is no diffrence my friend, Decembere is = July, same movement.

Good one Buddy. To see some movement better than days movement July 2011 should be good.

Thanks Divakar for your prompt response. Could we say that it has been 90 days since we filed, when it is actually only 50 days.

I've just got all the info for setting up conference call and meeting with the lawmakers "info" kit.

Once I've digested the contents of both, I'll be setting up a call, probably early next week. Here is the IV lawmaker kit http://immigrationvoice.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=53&Itemid=36


Any help on this would be appreciated, since I'm feeling a little overwhelmed with info! Volunteers for meeting people with me would also be great

I'll post to the yahoo group shortly.

Hey Franklin,
I am interested in participating too, i might not be an active member, but i can contribute when required and when i get some breather from my work..let me know what kind of things are being planned...

My I 140 was rejected in April 2007 because USCIS thought that my company couldnt show the ability to pay. My PD was 2003 August.
My attorney filed an appeal, and now he suggests, that we file fresh I 140 and I 485 using the same Labor approval from original PD.
I asked her, whether it was allowed, because I was thinking about filing fresh PERM under the impression that since My I 140 was rejected, I lost my PD.

I need help from the GURUs here. Is the above possible?
My attorney says that when an appeal is pending, once can file a new I 140 and get that approved (so it replaces that appeal). And the benefit would be I will be able to file I 485 right now along with I 140.

Please help me out. I need to act soon on this.
Many thanks in Advance.......


Your attorney is correct. Make sure your approved labor is not more than 180 days old. Starting 16th July the validity of labor expires beyond 180 days.

I got a similar RFE, except I have been asked to provide government documentation stating why mother's name is absent in birth certificate. Can anybody help on what type of government document can I obtain? Getting a new BC won't be possible, as my parents are currently in the US, and would return after the RFE response deadline. Can I get a court order regarding this effect? Any template would help.

Thanks.

EB-2 India
AOS filed July 2007
PD April 2007
Currently on H1-B (renewed till 2011)

Thanks for clearing this up.
Did USCIS representative provide you any reason as to why all the I 140 approvals dont have A# ?

Sorry! I did not ask that question.

I've seen few of the approved notice which had A number and couple of them were blank which was approved after mid 2006.

Thanks again to everyone. I will ask him to join IV. :) He like me has been in the country for over 10 years. The combined stress (finding a partner plus this gc dragging thing) has made him catatonic to some extent.
He is just doing his job and looks beyond caring about anything anymore.But I worry for him so thats the reason for the post.

My husband's GC priority date is EB2 Dec 2003, but I-140 is still pending. We applied for I-140 and I-485 in Nov 2007 after labor was stuck in backlog centers for 4 years.

We are done with finger prints few months ago. No updates on I-140 or I-485s after that.

Is it useful if we take Info pass appintment in this case and enquire about our case status?

Why not USCIS offer I-140 premium processing for older priority dates?

Can I-485 be pre-adjudicated even if I-140 is pending?.

Appreciate any information. Thanks.

Green..

May be you are joking or you didnt get my point.. I was wondering if there are any people who support these DOL sw/hw Systems are struck in Labor as well.

I got LUD on AP 3 days back.. But same status... Do anyone lese in same situation?

Thanks Krupa for your reply.

Could any one please clarify on below points.I hope this posting will also help other new members who got their EAD

1.Can I take an offer with a consulting firm for suppose 3 months con_w2 ?This firms will give me offer letter stating that I will work with them for only 3 months.I cannot file AC 21 since it is temporary employment.In my case since my original employer is intended to hire me permanently once GC is approved and supporting the GC process for this RFE Can I take this contract employment with out filing AC 21? As such I don't see any point in filing AC 21 in my case even if I find full time employment with the end client since my original employer is ready to hire me once GC is approved as GC is for future employment.Please clarify me on this.

2.I'm trying to avoid AC 21 as the job title and duties should be same or similar.In my case my LCA says that job title: Software Engineer Job duties says I work as Oracle CRM Functional. salary $90k

As per my expertise: I can work in Oracle apps manufacturing,Finance,supply chain,CRM,

Business Analyst:Finance,Health care,ERP,Insurance

QA Analyst: Functional QA (ERP or any other applications)
SAP QA,People soft QA,Oracle apps QA etc


All the above jobs are paid average $110k(Minimum 90k)

My question is suppose If I take a job as a QA Engineer to test an ERP product.Then definitely it will not fall in my LCA job title or duties.But to perform this job definitely I need to have strong ERP Back ground.It will become very hard to prove since my LCA duties says I work as Oracle CRM Functional(only one particular domain).So to avoid trouble I just want to respond this RFE with my original employer offer letter stating he is still intended to hire me once GC is approved.So that I can work in the above stated areas with different firms.Please clarify me on this

3.I heard so many people are receiving the RFE on I 485.Is it normal practice or USCIS is trying to adjudicate as many cases as possible by the end of september.Any guess?

Thanks for reading my post.Any inputs will be appreciated

Thanks

Whats the reason for the denial ?

My Lawyer put the A# from the EAD used during OPT. She put OPT in brackets and mentioned to me that USCIS will change this A#.

PERM started last year.. there are people who applied labour before that and still waiting.. i personally know two of my friends who applied for labour in april 2001 and still waiting for approval.

This has been discussed, we can't help.

It takes time for people to come on same page.

Lot of lawyers have conference calls with their clients - discuss what "their clients" must do.

One good thing is a lot of our members under the IV umbrella have the zeal to do something. Looking at the Munnabhai threads etc...

It is a matter of time before we get organized. IV core is working hard on various aspects.

Before anyone does anything under the IV umbrella - please contact sertasheep or pappu or macaca.

Wondering, can any body clarify what 'now pending standard processing at a USCIS office.' means - if its a good sign - why and any experiences?? also 'a USCIS office' means National Benefits Center (MSC) or a local office?

We really appreciate some one posting on this. Thanks in advance

Come on guys.

Quick approval, applied on 10/17 and approved on 10/20 after continous LUDs. The customer service rep at TSC told me when I called this morning. Awaiting the 5 emails.

But on the I-485 things are bit muddy. TSC told me the fingerprint is stuck at FBI, FBI told me today they returned on the same day..Aug 22, 2006! TSA rep suggested we fax the TSC Director to request updating records. My boss did that. Lets see what happens.

Its a relief to have an approved I-140!
